Simon, Paul - I Am A Rock Lyrics






A winters day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

    A winter's day
    In a deep and dark
    December
    I am alone
    Gazing from my window to the streets below
    On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
    I am a rock
    I am an island

  46. S.... ....

    My wandering soul, how it aimlessly dwells Among darkened hills, amidst
    its unseen spells, And in the distance all that I hear: the summoning of
    bells. Far above me, the high boughs they are bending, The once hidden
    moon now slowly ascending And as it sings to the world its sleep song, I
    sit in its shadow and await my ending.

  47. F.... Y....

    I touche no- one /And no- one touches me

  71. M.... ....

    No man is an island entire of itself; every man
    is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
    if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
    is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
    well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
    own were; any man's death diminishes me,
    because I am involved in mankind.

    And therefore never send to know for whom
    the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
